I don't think you have much to worry about especially since you have no bleeding. BTW....Congratulations! I am so happy for you!

AOTW: What has been driving me crazy about pregnancy is the rapid weight gain I have experienced. I am also excited about the bump...but didn't expect the kind of growth I am experiencing everywhere else. Wishingandhoping- I guess I am one of those women complaining about my changing body! I really do love my belly. I am just not a big fan of my ghetto booty.

What I am looking most forward to is having DH feel the baby move. I wish it was somehow possible for him to experience this in the way that I am. That will be a special moment I am sure!

Katie- I didn't think about it when I posed this question...but it certainly still applies to you, just in a different way. Hope I didn't make you feel left out. I think it is a beautiful and a different kind of wonderful experience for you.

Bliss- I completely understand your feelings about the booty. I am not looking forward to that change! Wouldn't it be nice to be "all belly"! Having DH feel the baby move will be very special...I agree.

Lyd- I have absolutely felt plenty of cramping. I don't know if I'm the best person to ask...knowing that I have had some bleeding. I've had plenty of cramping even when there was no bleeding. I wouldn't worry at all about the cramps! Can't wait to hear that great beta tomorrow!

Deftonesmo- Thank you so much for your encouragement. I need to contact Margi, but haven't had the chance yet.

Addy and Katie- Thank you for thinking of me. It means so much to me!

AFM- The bleeding has stopped, and I've been at work for 2 days now. One more day tomorrow, then I have a 3 day weekend! I have another ultrasound on Monday with my doctor, and I am nervous, but excited. I'll only be 6 weeks and 2 days, but I would love to see 2 little heart beats!

Alisa - Thank you for thinking of me. I am just happy to be on this journey no matter how I get there I just want the baby! As you can imagine I have acquired some pretty tough skin as I think we all have going through all this BS. I do wish I could experience every single thing you all are experiencing but I am just as happy to know that at the end of this whole thing I get to take home a baby.

LYD10 - How's the cramping? Lets us know about your beta as soon as you get it

Ladies - i am going for my 2nd beta tomorrow. really hoping it shows a proper rise. i was so bad tonight - i looked up the due date on one of those internet calendars. here i am sitting and cramping and dont even know if i even have a decent 2nd beta or whatever comes next like 3rd beta and u/s - but i looked up the due date!!!! insane!! its apr 16th. omg - please dont let me jinx it!!! knock on wood and spit over left shoulder. what other anti-jinxing "remedies" do we have?

my news are not so great. my first beta was 66, now 2 days later it went down to 50 i am really bummed. this is my attempt #5 altogether and attempt #3 for baby #2. i am going back on monday for another beta - but its most likely a chemical. how crummy. i am so tired of this.

I had 2 good days of work on Wednesday and Thursday, but today I had a little bit more bleeding. Fortunately it was brown blood, but I'm back lying down. Going to see my doctor on Monday for another ultrasound. I'm wondering if he's going to want me on bedrest. I'll do whatever it takes to bring theses babies home!

LYD - I am so so sorry, that really sucks but maybe there will be a rise in the beta again....I have heard strange things about betas and since it only dropped 10 points in 48 hours maybe by Monday it will continue to rise back up.

Wishing - I would definitely put your feet up and drink lots of water......I will keep you in my thoughts.....

Had a scheduled US today that got canceled and re-scheduled for next Wednesday....little bummed wanted to see my little bean. But nice good strong HB and everything is going along nicely. So next Wednesday it is, not sure we will know the sex but just want to see the little bean and know everything is OK so far.
